NLW, I am so sorry that your situation continues to be difficult. You seem a lot more together emotionally than I am. I get too easily triggered when dealing with xh. Talking with him yesterday went well, but communicating back and forth via email and text was a disaster. It's too easy for words to be misunderstood and taken the wrong way. Xh sees written words as demands or strong statements not simply opinions. He gets his back up because he reads all kinds of emotions and unintended meaning into what I write and before I know it I'm defending myself. I should have stuck to my guns and limited it to oral communication on his terms.
